sioner by foreign and home insurance
companies doing business in Vermont
in 1886, your correspondent has gath
cred the following statistics:
Thirty-nine foreign fire insurance
companies, representing several hun
dred million dollars, were licensed by
the Insurance Commissioners to trans
act business in this State for the veal
ending March 81, 1887. Four home
fire companies, representing capital
and having assets amounting to four
million dollars, were also licensed to
do business under their charters. All
companies are required to pay tax
annually into the State Treasury OF
two per cent. on the gross amount oil
premiums and assessments collected
on business done in Vermont. The
foreign fire companies paid taxes for
1896 amounting to $7,120 and the
home fire companies paid 1927 for
the same period.
The total amount of risks written
by the two score foreign and home in
surance companies licensed in 1886
was, in round numbers, S37, 100000,
the premiums and assessments paid
thereon by policy holders being $685.
900. Risks to the amount of $685.
1000 were written by foreign CON-
panies, whose agents collected S256,
900 in premiums, while home compan-
les took $4,000, 900 in risks and re-
ceived $175,0 900 for insurance.
The value of property burned in
1886 in Vermont was nearly $780,
900, or less than one-hal If of the value
OF the property. The losses by IRE
above insurance footed up nearly
$36O,OOO. There were 1O5 fires re-
ported during the year, the largest
number occurring in October, when
there were II.
